Sarah Flavia

Sarah is twenty-seven years old and has two children, ages five and two. She makes a living in selling petticoats and skirts for indigenous women. Her store is located in the area of Buenos Aires. This loan is her first loan sequence within the institution.

Sarah will use this loan to buy petticoats and skirts wholesale to stock her business; in the upcoming days, the anniversary of the area will be celebrated and she will have lots of sales. Her reason for requesting this loan is to increase her working capital.

Sarah faces challenges in her business, like stocking up on merchandise. She is going to utilize her profits to continue buying wholesale, sine there is already a lot of demand. In this way, she will keep increasing her income.

Sarah is a very hard-working person and she feels happy for the opportunity offered to her; this is the only activity that allows her to maintain her family.
